Small But Smart

Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 3, 2020

Gideon chose to attack the Midian army with trumpets, torch and pitcher. No swords. God’s plan might look weird but watch the end!

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Judge And The Persistent Widow

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't.

And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear. The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear ...read more

Winning In The Kingdom Court Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Sep 20, 2022

We should plead our cases before the Kingdom Court, knowing we have an Advocate (Jesus) to aid in our defense against the accusations of the prosecutor (Satan). Based on the "Dangerous Prayers" book by Francis Myles.

Tonight, we are going to view a fresh perspective on prayer from Dr. Franics Myles in his book on “dangerous prayers.”(1) Now, I have taken some time to wade through his book and weed out the muck. Let me get started by saying that I have heard it said, “Prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not ...read more

The Verdict On Judgment Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 23, 2022

We all make judgments practically every day. Some are quick and quite subtle, while others are more deliberate and obvious. Believers must ensure their judgments are biblical, and measured with grace.

Shadows Of The Past

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on May 17, 2023

We have heard the expression, "Let go and let God". Let your problems go and let God deal with them. Let go of your worries and let God take care of that. Let go of your past and let God give you a future. And yet we have forgotten that proven philosophy.

So many times, we have heard the expression, "Let go and let God". Let your problems go and let God deal with them. Let go of your worries and let God take care of that. Let go of your past and let God give you a future. All of that is as true as the Holy Scriptures themselves. And yet ...read more

Samson, The Flawed Savior

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Oct 10, 2021

When we stop trusting in human strength or looking to our own ability, God will act. When we are weakest and most defenseless, God will show grace. It’s when we’re at our lowest that God gets ready to shine his glory, to show that He is our Savior.

There is something called the underdog. It’s the boxer not expected to win the fight. It’s the team up against the undefeated champions from last year. The underdog is an unlikely candidate for success, because he’s too small, or they’re too weak, or inexperienced. Yet we know it’s the underdog ...read more
